From Delhi, with my friends and family, I had been to Haridwar and Rishikesh to see a glimpse of both this cities. I did not spend much time here, however I did capture some of the little precious moments. Both these places are 25 kms apart.
Rishikesh is ideal place for various adventure sports like treking, rock climbing, kayaking and rafting. This place is famous for white water rafting throgh the sacred river Ganges flows through here. Several temples, ancient as well as new, exist along the banks of the river.
As it is located in the foothills of the Himalaya mountain range, it is known as "The Gateway to the Himalayas". It is also known by the name "The World capital of Yoga" as there are numerous yoga centres that attract tourists from all over the World.
The prominent tourist attractions here are:

Thank you so much for posting beautiful post.Beautiful photographs.
I love mountains and seeing the Himalayas is near the top of my list of things to do. (I live at an altitude of 7,500 feet or 2,286m above sea level, but that's just a hill in the Himalayas.)
Rishikesh is a fantastic place indeed!
Wow! Pictures from back then!
Must be evoking a great deal of nostalgia, isn't it?
It is very beautiful. I would have love to have gotten to this part of India. The closest north I went was to Chandigarh.
Nice article.

Sounds like a place I'd love (I love to do yoga classes, but I'm not very good at it.)
I'd go there for the yoga and it's being the gateway to the Himalaya.

Calling by from ABC Wednesday, such beautiful scenery which given the opportunity I would love to see for myself one day.
Looks a great trip and beautiful photo of the Ganges. Nice to see another view of the river, in travelogues they seem to only show it at Benares.
